Thinking of you is a nice thing to do!

Blogger's Challenge
Thinking of you.

This challenge has come at a perfect time! We recently sent out a CALL for a new pastor. Our pastor retired in July and we have been searching for 14 months (he gave lots of notice). Well we finally found the person we believe will be perfect for us. And he accepted! I am so excited. Now comes the difficult transition period. Moving your children and wife from California to Buffalo! Anyway I thought it would be nice to send them a note so I made this card to send them from our Praise Team. He has a great sense of humor so I think it will be appropriate.

Tri-fold pop up card...
Here is the front. Wish I had a better picture, sorry it looks much better in real life.



The middle section.


And fully open. I hope they enjoy this card. It was so fun to create.



Be sure to check out the rest of the Blogger's challenge players today--I am sure they will be "thinking of you" ! Tee Hee.

Have a fabulous day!

    What a cute card. I have not seen this style before. Could you possibly point me to some directions for measurement so I can try something simular? I love the pop ups at the end. You are so creative and kind. I am sure they will appreciate it.
